Huang Shouhong:

Earlier, I introduced the drafting of the government work report and its characteristics. Recently, I have read some international reports where some people often get confused about confrontation with complex and severe international environments and various risks and challenges. Many countries often find that their development goals cannot be achieved as expected or the results may fall short of their expectations. With regards to that, they ask one question: how can China always accomplish its goals and tasks in these years and continue to attain new achievements in its development ? There are many reasons for this. One reason is that when the CPC and the Chinese government make development goals and put forward important policies, we implement the mass line, bring democracy into full play and seek the biggest common ground possible, which thus lay a solid popular and social basis, instead of decisions being made by a few people behind closed doors and reflecting the will and aspiration of only a few people. This year's government work report fully demonstrates the bond between the Party and the people as well as the resonance between policymaking and public opinion. It also fully reflects the will, aspiration and demand of the people nationwide. I believe that after the deliberation and approval at the second session of the 14th NPC, the report will be jointly followed and acted upon accordingly by the people nationally and will gather strong driving force for economic and social development. The goals and tasks put forward in the report will definitely be accomplished. As a Chinese saying that many are familiar with goes, "People with one mind and heart have the power to move a mountain."

The report is comprehensive, systematic, and rich in content. To understand it, we must grasp its main ideas and purpose. According to my personal understanding, the soul of the report is Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and its essence is the guiding principles of the Central Economic Work Conference. The main idea that runs through the report is that upholding high-quality development is of paramount importance in the new era. The report focuses on the central task of economic development and the priority task of high-quality development. Advancing high-quality development requires full and faithful application of the new development philosophy on all fronts and a good grasp of its general logic of reform, opening up and innovation as well as the starting point and ultimate goal of safeguarding and improving people's wellbeing.

Due to time constraints, that's all for my brief introduction. Next, I would like to discuss the drafting of the report with you. Thank you.
